Carbon fiber tubes combine the properties of aluminum and steel tubes. It has both the strength properties of steel and the lightweight properties of aluminum. This feature allows carbon fiber tubes to gradually replace aluminum tubes and to be used in aerospace, racing and leisure sports fields that require light weight and strength. Let's talk about what fields carbon fiber tubes are usually used in.
Carbon fiber tubes widely used in the below field
Drone/UVA/Robotics arm.
Carbon fiber telescopic poles.
Carbon Fiber Automobile Intake Air Pipe. (Some customers choose carbon fiber tubes instead of metal tubes as they prefer carbon fiber appearance. But remember to confirm with the seller whether the tube is resistant to high temperature when you buy it)
Carbon Fiber Tapered Conical Tube Pole Billiards Shaft. (Normally need to customize a mold to produce)
Carbon Tube Grip Fishing Rod
Carbon fiber bicycle Frame
Carbon fiber paddle and other water sports products
Spear Gun Carbon Fiber Tube.
Snooker cue golf shaft tube and other sports products.
Carbon fiber tubes are widely used in High-end products thanks to their own properties. Carbon fiber tube is light in weight while ensuring strength. This is not possible with other materials. Let me make a simple example. Steel is very hard in the impression of most customers. At the same time, it weighs very heavily. While carbon fiber is lightweight and strength. Data show that carbon fiber is five times stronger than steel and twice as stiff. Let's talk about aluminum. You may think aluminum is hard and light, right? But the data show carbon fiber has a specific tensile strength of approximately 3.8 times that of aluminum and specific stiffness of 1.71 times. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that carbon fiber tubes gradually replaced steel, aluminum and other materials due to the factor of weight.
Carbon fiber tubes can be any shape like round, square, octagonal, hexagonal, Taper, and so on by opening different shapes of the mold. In addition, stiffness can be increased in a specific direction. according to customer requirements
The size of the carbon fiber tube is not limited and can be any size by opening the size of the mold. Prepreg carbon fiber tubes can be fabricated to virtually any wall thickness by combining layers of various prepreg thicknesses. Roll-wrapped carbon fiber tubes come in several standard lengths or can be built to a custom length. If a requested tube length is longer than our stock tube, multiple tubes can be joined with internal splices to create a long tube.
The carbon fiber tube can be color determined by the material of the outer layer
The carbon fiber tube can be color determined by the material of the different exterior layers. This can also allow the customer to choose the color that they need.
If carbon fiber tubes are stiff and light, why aren't they everywhere in our daily life? Shouldn't life be full of carbon fiber tubes? And it is only seen in expensive accessories such as parts of automobiles. The main reason is that the price prevents. Although carbon fiber has many advantages, budget is also something that clients need to consider. Many people have considered using carbon fiber, but some people give up when they know the price. This is because carbon fiber material is very expensive and carbon items are handmade, which makes them very expensive. You can think about it, if you replace the aluminum clothes fork with a carbon fiber tube, although the weight will be much lighter, the price of the carbon fiber tube is dozens of times that of the aluminum, and the lightness in the clothes fork is not very important, so the carbon tube does not replace aluminum tubes. Therefore, carbon fiber will only be considered when customers require high strength and lightweight and are used in high-end fields such as aerospace, high-performance vehicles, and sporting equipment.
Dronecarbon supplies high-quality carbon fiber tubes which maintain the UAV standard. There are many regular sizes in our stock. Also, we have many quantities of mold for each regular size to make sure customers receive carbon tubes as soon as possible. Want to know our price? contact our sales team
